Are You Being Fooled By Statistics?

The world’s worst defender of statistical manipulation is the government, followed closely by the financial press. Yes, I guess that counts me too. We are two years away from our nation’s next presidential election, which has historically been good for stocks, so I thought I would normalize some of the government’s economic data to give you a better understanding of the true strength or weakness in our economy. I am not trying to persuade you one way or the other, I am merely trying to remove the deception from the data. I will present a case for the bears followed by the bulls, as there are two sides to every argument and I encourage you to make up your own opinion based on the facts.

All management fees will be charged three months in advanced. The assessment and billing of fees shall be based on the date that funds are deposited with the Custodian. Once the account is established, fees will be charged on the first business day of each calendar quarter, following the opening of the account. For those accounts that are opened during a calendar quarter, fees will be prorated based on the number of days that are not expired in the active quarter. The fee will be automatically deducted out of the clients' account.

Eligibility Requirements:
As defined by Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, eligible clients are defined in the Rule as natural persons and companies that have either at least $750,000.00 under management with PROFITSCORE immediately after entering into a performance fee agreement or a net worth at the time the agreement is entered into in excess of $1.5 Million (i.e. a natural person’s net worth may include assets held jointly with a spouse).
